Vitamin Illuminating Serum

Glass-skin radiance powered by acerola vitamin C

This illuminating serum delivers 40% acerola extract to your skin — a natural source of vitamin C that's 28 times more potent than lemon and 127 times more than apple. To maximize vitamin C's brightening power, we've paired it with tranexamic acid, vitamin E (tocopherol), ferulic acid, and glutathione. From preventing pigmentation to evening tone and delivering antioxidant care, this one bottle completes your multi-angle brightening routine.

Clinically proven melanin care results

In a 2024 Intertek clinical study, participants saw the following improvements after 4 weeks of use. The serum supports overall skin brightening, from melanin care to tone evening.

• Melanin surface area reduced by 57.49%, melanin evenness improved by 11.60%
• Melasma and dark spot intensity reduced by 4.14%, number of dark spots reduced by 6.44%
• Skin texture improved by 18.64%, redness reduced by 21.20%
• Skin tone improved by 2.53%, radiance improved by 1.03%

Barrier care with ceramides

Though it's a brightening serum, it contains ceramides to prevent moisture loss and strengthen the skin barrier. Ideal for those concerned about the dryness often associated with vitamin C products, those dealing with a dull complexion and dark spots, and anyone seeking luminous, glass-like skin. This is a cruelty-free product — no animal testing.

Use after toner, during the essence or serum step

Apply Vitamin Illuminating Serum right after toning, when your skin is prepped and receptive. Once the serum has fully absorbed, follow with your moisturizer to help lock in the active ingredients. If you're using it in the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

Suitable for both morning and evening use

Thanks to its vitamin C content, this serum helps protect against environmental stress when used in the morning, and helps skin recover from daily fatigue when applied at night. If you're also using a retinol product, consider alternating: use this serum in the morning and retinol in the evening.

Dispense 2–3 drops and gently press in

After cleansing and toning, dispense 2–3 drops with the dropper and smooth over your entire face. Gently press the serum into skin with your palms to help the ceramides lock in moisture and support the skin barrier. For areas where dullness is more noticeable, feel free to apply a second layer.

Recommended combinations by skin concern

• For tone-evening: Try layering a niacinamide toner, then this serum, followed by a lightweight hydrating cream
• For dryness and dullness: Apply a hyaluronic acid essence first, then layer this serum on top for hydration and radiance in one routine
• For targeting dark spots: Use a gentle exfoliating product 1–2 times a week to help boost serum absorption

Storage and precautions

Vitamin C is sensitive to light and air, so store this serum in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation. If you experience redness or stinging, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
